- 1Canny
Sign up for Canny and create a board for your product. Set up status columns: Under Review, Planned, In Progress, and Complete. Add the Canny SDK to your app so users can submit feedback without leaving the product. Enable SSO so votes are tied to real user accounts, not anonymous submissions.
Open Canny - 2ProductBoard
Connect ProductBoard to your support inbox, Intercom, or Zendesk so customer feedback flows in automatically. Use the Insights feature to tag feedback by feature area. Prioritize features using ProductBoard's scoring model that factors in user impact and business value. Link prioritized features to your roadmap view.
Open ProductBoard - 3Frill
Sign up for Frill and embed the feedback widget on your app using the JavaScript snippet. Create roadmap columns for each development stage. When you ship a feature, move it to Done and publish a changelog entry. Frill notifies users who voted on that item, closing the feedback loop automatically.
Open Frill - 4Nolt
Create a Nolt board and share the URL with your users in your app's navigation or help docs. Configure email notifications so you are alerted when a popular idea reaches a vote threshold. Nolt integrates with Slack so your team sees new submissions in real time without checking a separate dashboard.
